Partnership

Always ensure that your child arrives at punctually and fully prepared for the Academy day.

Ensure that you contact the Academy whenever your child is unwell and unable to attend Academy.

Contact the Academy by 9.00 am on the first day of the child’s absence and telephone every day thereafter unless your child has a doctor’s certificate.

Contact us promptly whenever any problem occurs that may keep your child away from Academy.

Responding to Non-AttendanceWhen a pupil does not attend Academy we will respond in the following manner:

On the first day of absence, if we have not heard from you by 10.00 am we will phone you.

If by the end of the second day, there has still been no contact made we will send a letter of concern and invite you into Academy to discuss your child’s absence. You will be notified that if the absence persists a referral will be made to Education Welfare (EW).

Failure to comply with the expectations set by EW may result in further action, an application for an Education Supervision Order, or court prosecution.

Parents Evenings

Parent/teacher consultation evenings a chance to find out how your child is doing in school. There are consultation evenings in the autumn and spring terms.

Open afternoons once a term parents are invited into school to have a look around and see their child’s work.
